Edit Reason: clarify parts terminology

Oct 1936 onwards "hourglass" steering column/box 1A6111
Can anyone tell me the best way to get the inner column with thrust ball bearings and worm out from the outer column and box. I am wanting to clean out and check bearings and worm. I have cover plate 1A5141 (or 6141??) and (end plate) clamping cover 1A6117 removed. Third inner/controls tube not fitted or wanted on this set up.
As far as I can think it is only the interference fit of the bearing race in the box that is holding it in? Block of wood on steering wheel end and gentle taping?
There are 2 bearings; 1 at the column side of the worm - a ball thrust I think comprising :-balls for worm bearing 2K5286, bearing cage 1A6124, bearing cup1A6131 (2 of each of these shown in spares list): and a ball bearing at the very end of the column under the end plate - R&M 19F 3T B9720. This bearing not shown in any spares list.
Archive drawing XL335 May 1937 shows a bearing either side of worm.
I now can't seem to attach any photos as I have been able to in past.
